Residents

Our multifaceted support system is the most consistent strength identified by our residents in their exit interviews. We seek to provide practical support, including educational, financial and patient care resources. Our carefully designed support creates a foundation for community between the residents and faculty. This is achieved through a two-week orientation; Winter and Summer retreats; group Bible studies in faculty homes, residents and/or their spouses; intentional mentoring and faculty/behavioral advisory relationships.

In addition to practical and structural support, In His Image desires that each resident be provided excellent personal support. Through mentoring, counseling and marriage support, our residents are provided assistance in balancing their personal and professional commitments. Our residents enjoy spending time with each other. They are committed to solid family medicine training and are eager to explore what it means to be a physician with a global health perspective. The residents work as a team in an encouraging atmosphere. Though their training is rigorous, schedules ensure time for family, personal spiritual growth and recreation.

We believe if residents are well trained and fully trained, they will become like their teachers. Therefore, the caliber of our faculty, our teachers, is of utmost importance. Every In His Image faculty member is passionate about their faith and view the practice of medicine as a calling and ministry. They are all active in clinical practice to ensure up-to-date skills and knowledge and to serve as a quality example for training residents. In addition to our core faculty, about 50 partner physicians in the community teach our residents their specialty during rotations.

Alumni

Over 350 doctors have graduated from our residency program, we stay connected through our In His Image Alumni Association. Our alumni work in a variety of locations of medical practice settings in the U.S. and abroad. Although only 10-15% of our residents come from Oklahoma, nearly 25% of the IHI graduates have decided to practice medicine in Oklahoma – many of whom are serving in inner city Tulsa and the greater Tulsa area. About 15% of IHI graduates are currently serving as long-term global health workers and another 10% are working with underserved populations in the U.S. Most who live in the states are actively involved in domestic or short-term international health outreach, and many are involved in medical education as part of their careers.

"This should be the toughest three years of your medical training, and you will want to do that in an environment where you are cared for as a person and can grow in your faith.”

— Ashley Hildebrand, MD, IHI Alum

“IHI has a Mentoring Ministry. As a resident, I met with my mentor to discuss specific challenges I was facing. She gave me a different perspective and insight into the situation as someone who had been in my shoes.”

— Laurel Williston, MD IHI Alum

“Addressing the needs of those who lack access to quality health care is a passion of mine. As I looked into residency programs, I discovered IHI has that vision also. Residency encouraged my passion to serve as I helped establish GSHS.”

— Catrell Owens-Agbeibor, MD IHI Alum
